            Bug ID: 3030
           Summary: "null conn-context pointer" logged in smtp_out.c
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.97
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Transports
          Assignee: unallocated@???
          Reporter: pdw@???

https://github.com/Exim/exim/blob/master/src/src/smtp_out.c#L569

The above code has a null guard and an "XXX" comment suggesting that it wasn't
known what was triggering the null.

I can reliably reproduce this with a recipient verify that does a DANE check
for a specific host which returns SERVFAIL for the TLSA lookup.

I haven't quite pinned down what goes wrong, but I think it handles the DNS
lookup failure incorrectly and attempts to close an SMTP connection that was
never opened.

The config has this:

acl_check_rcpt:

  deny
    !verify = recipient/callout=10s


and:

remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
hosts_require_dane = *

Obviously this isn't a serious bug, as the null guard masks the issue, but I
thought I'd provide context on what was triggering it after we tripped over the
segfault in production on an older version of Exim.
